PREFERRED TERM

1770Sufi orders  

SCOPE NOTE

  • This term Sufi refers to the Islam of inward vision and individual religious experience. It encompasses an assortment of mystically oriented doctrines, practices, forms of social interaction, and literary works. Historically, Sufism began with individual ascetics living in Iraq and Iran during the eighth and ninth centuries. During the tenth and eleventh centuries, Sufi adepts began to organise into groups of masters and their disciples that developed into organised dervish orders, each with its own distinct doctrines, practices, and spiritual genealogy.
